Grand Island College and Conservatory of Music was founded by the Baptist Church of Nebraska in 1882. It was originally called Grand Island Academy...By 1930 the school had become a 'deep concern' for Nebraska Baptists. As a result, a merger was effec ted with Sioux Falls College. With the merger, Grand Island College students, faculty, records, and property—other than the buildings—moved to Sioux Falls. Thus, Sioux Falls College became the Baptist college for a five-state region." [SOURCE: "Grand Island College, Grand Island, Nebraska 1892-1931."
